Buy Hell is other demons

May 25

Hell is Other Demons has been out on Steam for a couple of days now and the critical response has been amazing! We are currently hard at work squashing bugs, improving the game and working on the next free content patch. On top of all the ideas I already have, the community has been coming up with awesome upgrades, characters, weapons and features.

Balance- Tweaked Upgrades Explosion- and Laser-Proof. They now have 3 charges per level instead of infinite.- Unbanned Health Upgrades from The Cloak

Improvements- Added default gamepad controller mappings on Steam.- Now supports Switch Pro Controller on Steam.- Now pauses the game if the current input device gets disconnected.- Now pauses the game if the Steam Overlay is activated.- Made Spike Traps more visible in Boneyard.

Bugfixes- Fixed a bug where the game would not progress to the results screen if you died between killing a boss and picking up the artefact.- Fixed a bug where the optional objectives wouldn't trigger for the last boss.- Fixed typo in Tip mentioning the Ultimate button.- Fixed typo in French Tutorial text.- Fixed Steam Achievements that unlocked in error.

Reviews

“While some games use aesthetic to hide poorly considered gameplay, Hell is Other Demons has nothing to hide. It’s a simple concept, but it’s executed flawlessly.”4.5/5 – Game Revolution

“Hell Is Other Demons goes the distance in its refined and frantic gameplay that captures the nostalgia of 8-bit arcade shooters.”8/10 – Cultured Vultures
